Fished a few ocean wrecks on Sunday with Jody, Wally and Ricky. Only got three togs up to 23″ and released one tog that was tagged. Released a few nice BSB, while tog fishing. 20 miles out the birds, bait and rockfish were crazy.

Fished the Ocean Venture and the Norfolk Canyon area yesterday w/ Jody, Wally, Davie and Ricky. 15 Blueline Tile w/ 7 over 10lbs and 1 Golden Tile. A few large seabass released while trying to jig for bluefish. Several bluefish caught on jigs but nothing over 34 inches. Dog sharks were a pain but not real thick. Ricky hooked a 6ft+ Mako shark at the Ocean Venture with a butterfly jig. Fought the mako for awhile before it broke the main line.

1-2-2014 – Was going to try to run offshore for deep dropping but the weather changed for the worse. So, ran over off the Eastern Shore with Wally to eel for rockfish. Started off good with the first bite by 0830, but the hook pulled. Fished with 8/0 circle hooks. Landed the second bite, for a 47″ release citation. Wally got a 49″ release citation right at the end of the day. Not a great record with six bites total and only two fish landed, but got a couple citations to start the 2015 season.

December 5, 2014 – Drifted eels off Old Plantation Light from 2pm until dark for rockfish w/ Davie, Wally, Jody and Ricky. Marked bait and fish, but no bites. Anchored at the HR and fished both the incoming and outgoing tide until 2am w/ no bites. Marked bait at the HR.

November 29, 2014 – Drifted eels off Old Plantation Light for rockfish w/ Wally, Jody and Ricky. Bite was late in the afternoon. Ricky got a nice 45″ release citation and Wally had the hook pull on another citation size rockfish right at the boat.

This was Ricky’s sixth citation for the year and first time expert angler.
